It wasn’t long after starting Cabbige in February 2014 that I realized what a huge role QuickBooks plays in farm businesses. It’s the revenue tracker, the bill payer, the forecaster, the cash flow manager. It’s the center of a farm’s financial world.

And, after two years of research, I came to the conclusion that QuickBooks is great at a lot of things (I use it myself), but software designed for every kind of business isn’t going to answer all the questions that farms need to know: How much did each of my crops make me? What’s the value of my CSA shares? How should I price kale in June vs. October? Which crops sell better at which markets?

QuickBooks gives farms a view into their finances; Cabbige gives farms a view into their business.

We integrated Cabbige with QuickBooks Online to make it easy for farms to have the full view with a single entry – both the high-level financials in QuickBooks and the detailed crop and sales channel tracking in Cabbige.

Any sales or product records entered into Cabbige automatically generate a sales receipt or invoice in QuickBooks.

We assign all of your revenue to the right products in QuickBooks, even revenue for products not tracked in Cabbige.

Cabbige is flexible. Start your sales record and save it for later, track some crops but not all, update your records as you see fit; we track it all, and send it to QuickBooks to keep all of your records up-to-date. No double entry!
